What Else Does He Is Hidding?

The Story

Hello anonymous friends! I need your reasoning on a case that bothers me a lot. Yesterday, my husband asked me to wash a jacket. I told him to check his pockets because in the washing machine I always find screws, pennies and hard objects. As always, he forgot. As I was looking out the jacket, a marketer fell out of it. I unfolded it so I wouldn't throw away anything important. It was a speeding ticket by traffic police. You'il tell everyone what happens. I agree. The fine was for 600 BGN, and in case of timely repayment - 420 EURO, and was imposed on December 24, that is. relatively soon. Yes, that's the way it is. But! My husband didn't say a word at home about it. I emphasize that the amount is not at all small by the standard of our family, that is. one 420 BGN unforeseen expenditure is a serious blow to our monthly budget. I personally would eat my socks out of anger, and I'd probably be whining at home for a week about what a duck I was and how I should pay such a fine now. But he didn't say a word! I showed him the ticket in the evening, and my husband said, "I've already paid the fine, you can throw it." When asked why he didn't tell me, he replied: "So I don't bother you." And here I began to ask myself questions, the answer to which I hope we can find together. Namely: what else do I not know to "not bother me"? Does not the truth count as a lie? Is it honorable to be kept in the dark about important matters concerning the family so that you "don't worry"? And more: do men deliberately silence their mistakes in front of their wives to keep their halo of heroes in their eyes, or are they purely and simply afraid of scandal and want to save themselves the emotional storm? I also wonder if they're right, and how would I react if my husband had just missed the holidays: "You know we have £420 to pay now. fine for driving fast. Merry Christmas, baby! ". With my hand on my heart, I admit that I would not have been able to refrain from muting at least one "Well, how could you! With that money, we could have... "
